A late night challenge: Show us a photo of the full moon.
And again at Gas Works Park with some airplane trails.
Show us some fireworks.
I hope your celebration was lots of fun!
Yep, another cross post from my blog!
Calling all Seattleites! Tomorrow night (Thursday, June 28th) at the High Dive (location) at 9:30pm for a mere $6 you can come to a rockin' show put on by my fav, The Lonely Forest. This is a CD release show for Lacey Brown whom I have never heard before, but listening to a few tracks on her MySpace it sounds like she has a pretty good sound (I could easily hear her music being played on Grey's Anatomy).
The Lonely Forest is on right at 9:30 so get there a bit early for the show! Josh Ottum is next at 10:30 and then Lacey Brown at 11:30.
For $6 you can't go wrong! What else are you going to do on a Thursday night? Oh, this is a 21+ show, so no youngins! I hope to see you there! If you see me, say hi! Check out the various MySpace pages (or check out my Lonely Forest blog page or their Virb page) to listen to a few tracks from the artists, I don't think you will be disappointed.
I'm serious. I had better see you there.

I like books. I like to read. My mom was always worried that I would never read anything other than Garfield comics. Fortunately in college (yeah, it wasn't until then) I got really interested in reading. That is when I started my collection. It isn't huge, but I am pretty proud of it. I like a pretty wide variety of book genres (as you can probably see). I thought I might share my collection with you so you can experience my eclectic taste.
The pictures come from a recent post about me moving back into The House in Seattle. I was finally able to get things setup and my books are mostly in place now. You can click the images for larger versions. Or check out the flickr page for a few notes (and larger versions): Books 1 - Books 2 - Books 3.
Enjoy! :)
You know those relationships where you are torn between loving adoration and pure animosity? Sorry, I'm not speaking out personal interactions right now; my love-hate relationship is with Dick's Drive-In.
Dick's Drive-In (which, naturally, has its own Wikipedia entry) is a Seattle Icon. It is a small, local fast food chain that started right up the block from where I live. The quaint little neighborhood of Wallingford has spawned something that has grown to five establishments that have apparently been mentioned on the Colbert Report. Is that making it big time? You tell me.
I digress. It has been a while since I had been to Dick's: distance and my now less-than-iron constitution have kept me at bay. But I cannot stay away. The fast moving lines, efficient servers that can add the cost of a cheeseburger, fries, and a large coke like Raymond Babbitt, and that orange sign called to me. I must say, if you haven't been to Dick's, you really must indulge. You might hate yourself later, but you will be patting yourself on the back as you bite into that tasty 1/4 pound deluxe and down that strawberry milkshake. If seeing through your take out bag is something you usually avoid, then Dick's is not the place for you. Your stomach will thank you. But I won't. Don't let it keep you away. You can endure the extra few minutes on the porcelain. Just go for it.
Understanding why Dick's Drive-In and I have a love-hate relationship?
Once again, cross posted here: Love-Hate Relationships...
Here is one for you Seattle music lovers. Coming up on June 15th (a Friday) The Vera Project is holding a battle of the bands; the winner of the block star contest gets (among other things) a slot to play at the mainstage for capital hill's block party!
High stakes abound for this show, with a spot on the main-stage at the Capitol Hill Block Party on the line. A crack team of judges from throughout the Seattle music scene has selected the best entrants for the card, who will duke it out in eight rounds of fun. This year The Vera Project has dropped the gloves and agreed to some ultimate fighting rules, so anything goes…musically that is. The best in thoughtful hip-hop (Grynch), will battle against the best in humorous hip-hop (Optimus Rhyme) just to get the chance to be judged against one of the greatest power-pop bands the town has seen (Speaker Speaker). The underage crowd will be pulling hard for Vera faves The Lonely Forest, and The Sutures. Meanwhile the rockers will be in corner of the ripping Iceage Cobra and Skullbot, pouring salt on their wounds and giving inspiring pep-talks. After the battle, we’ll turn to the judges for their scores and a winner’s hand will be hoisted high into the air. May the strongest competitor take home the spoils.
Mark your calendar! June 15th, 7:30 pm. $5. @ The Vera Project: the corner of Warren Ave N and Republican in the old Snoqualmie Room.
The main reason you should go? The Lonely Forest. 'Nuff said. Yes, the set will be short, but it will be awesome and if you go cheer them on they will get to play at the block party which would be about the time of their CD release for Nuclear Winter. To check about a bunch of their stuff check out the following places: my Lonely Forest blog page, The Lonely Forest @ MySpace, The Lonely Forest @ Virb (with lots of music from Nuclear Winter).
Hope to see you there! Should be lots of good music to check out!
